Ultrafast Broadband Update – Success!

~ bacaadmin

We are delighted to announce that the BAACA has now signed a contract with BT Openreach for the provision of improved broadband speeds – up to 1gbps (gigabit per second) for the reminder of Bellingdon & some parts of Asheridge currently not provisioned! (Not to be confused with those covered by the Cholesbury project…)

Thanks to all those households who signed up for vouchers from DCMS (topped up by Bucks County).  To get to this stage has been a major effort and the committee would like to thank Tony Orr in particular for his work with Openreach to get us to this point .

The next couple of months should see Openreach ordering equipment, finalising implementation plans etc. then the project will be moved to deployment. How long this will take is difficult to know, although Openreach aim to have the work complete within a year, but at some stage the service will be made available for sale through the Internet retailers. 

At this point householders can upgrade their service from their existing provider or use a new one.  We will send a note out once this point is reached.  We fully expect many more home will request the service once it is up and running.

We look forward to faster speeds for our internet access in the future.

St.John’s Bellingdon – 18th July 2021 – the last recorded service!

Dear all

Here are the details for the service for Sunday 18th July – for St John’s Bellingdon.

Our Psalm is Psalm 23 and the reading Mark 6: 30-34,53-end read by Chris Davies with the intercessions led by Marjorie.

It is on the Parish YouTube channel and this link should take you there

As usual the service is available after 09.45 on Sunday.

The format is the same as the last few weeks to fit in with the service in the church building. The contents of the recorded service and the one in the church are basically the same and a copy (in fact two copies) of the order of service are attached.

For those watching the recording, printing a copy would be useful – the ‘booklet’ version should be printed double sided and when folded will be the order of service. If that’s a problem the other version will print so that you have the content. Having your bible to hand might also be good.

As you’ll hear in the recording this week is our last online service for the foreseeable future! We’re planning to meet in the church building each Sunday and look forward to seeing many of you there. St.Mary’s and Emmanuel will continue to livestream their services on YouTube and they will be available after as recordings. There will also be a service livestreamed by the Church of England each week.

We’re hoping that we might be able to start singing and talking together but it’s clear we’ll need to continue to take care. I’ll send an update next week once the parish staff team have discussed the guidance from the Diocese.

With prayers and best wishes to you all. Take care

St John’s Bellingdon – Sunday 11th July – on line service and service at St.John’s

~ bacaadmin

Dear all

It was bey good to see many of you at the Meeting Point Garden Party – thanks to John and Pam for organising it and to Chris and Jill for hosting it.

As mentioned last week – this week’s online service is with Christchurch Waterside, St George’s Tylers Hill and St John’s Ashley Green.

As with the usual Bellingdon service it gets uploaded onto the Chesham Parish YouTube site, but in case you need to go directly to it the link to the service is:

Dan Godwin is leading and preaching and the passage for the sermon is Mark 6: 14-29 and the Psalm is 24.

And in our church building Jean Corfield is leading and preaching – the readings are the same but Jean is speaking on Psalm 24.

Best wishes

Tim

As usual the service is available after 09.45 on Sunday.

The format is the same as the last few weeks to fit in with the service in the church building. The contents of the recorded service and the one in the church are basically the same and a copy (in fact two copies) of the order of service are attached.

Next Jean Corfield will be leading the service in the church building, and the on line service will be a joint one with Christchurch, St.George’s and St John’s Ashley Green. I’ll send the link towards the end of the week.

With prayers and best wishes to you all. Take care
